GINTAMA 256
Why is gintama so good ? i only had to ask and i got my answer !
Of course gintama is so good because of the chemistry between the characters.
It make sense !
A quite trolling ending , to a sequence of events that had a lot of merits , like reintroducing several key parts of the plot gintama had already.
Everything was top notch , from the ending to the fake ending .
Overall those 4 eps were a nice reintroduction into the gintama world, complete with excellent production values and a great deal of comedy.
VERDICT ( episode ) : GOOD
VERDICT ( Kintama Arc ) : VERY GOOD
Gintama is great !

Yep, she's best Precure!

Can cook...
And plays best football to boot?
Yep, she's best Precure!
I do believe it is Miyuki!
And I chuckled at this, I fully admit. It was a nice touch.
Toku = tokusatsu, a.k.a. stuff like Super Sentai, Kamen Rider, Ultraman, etc.
Hence her reactions during the whole Happy Robo episode.
Rurouni Kenshin Episode 31
Saito hajime is the true hero of Kenshin while ken is busy sticks his head in the dirt pretending his in some mundane slice of life the dashing Saito shows up kicks the plot & kenshin there rear and orders them to get the story moving already.
It's also very interesting to see eiichiro oda early work as Nobuhiro Watsuki's assistant, as he worked with him for the kyoto arc and is credited for creating one the characters by Watsuki.

I think I've seen that on /a/ quite a few times and thought nothing of it. Until now, of course. My interest in this world looks like it'll put me in a pit of despair.

This scene. No words. Just manly fucking tears.
What we've learned today:
- Nadia's
older brother is behind it all! Then who the fuck is Gargoyle?
- Neo Atlantis has harnessed
. I did not predict this when I began watching this show.the power of UFOs in order to take over the world
- Humanity
Random Neon Genesis Evangelion 2 spoilers:was created by the Atlanteans in order to used them as slaves.Or was it backwards?THE ATLANTEANS ARE THE FAR ANCESTRAL RACE! THEY CAME TO EARTH IN ORDER TO ENSURE LILITH'S CHILDREN WERE THE DOMINANT RACE AFTER THEY HAD FUCKED UP AND SENT ADAM'S SEED OF LIFE TO A PLANET THAT ALREADY HAD A SEED OF LIFE!

Showdown atop
Jesus fuck, Anno, what the fuck happened to you after this? All this is making me do is get even sadder that you are wasting your fucking time on Rebuild instead of something actually new.
Because this was the least spoilerific image in the entire episode.
Showdown atop
Paris' skyline! A battle that goes into space! Ramming into a UFO so that the Gratan can sabotage the laser of doom! A confrontation with Gargoyle! Nadia turning on her father (unwillingly)!

Our hero has turned rogue.
The future of anime.
Our hero has turned rogue.
Well it isn't just those two talking about it. They also encounter plenty of others with whom they get in long conversations with.
It's getting better though, mainly because I'm getting a better grasp of the dynamic between Lawrence and Holo and because I'm beginning to understand what they're talking about.
I'm up to episode 8 for Dennou Coil. One area I haven't been impressed by so far is the animation quality. It's obviously very good but I heard this was supposed to be insane and almost damn near bankrupted the studio that was working on it. Is it supposed to be the fluidity of the show or are there a ton of sakuga moments later on?
What. ep 1-4 have ton of sakuga.

I'm going to need timeframes as nothing has really stood out so far.
This joy just goes on and on and on and on.
Its amazing how many series they made.

They should make a new one. I know damn well all of the angel's seiyuu are still doing anime, especially Miyukichi and Yukari Tamura.
Well its been a years since I watch that, but beam spam on everywhere in those chasing scene.
Uh, it's the whole thing.
So Fate/Zero looks like the most expensive anime ever produced, but you can't see the money put into Dennou Coil? I mean, I can post .gifs, but I'm not sure how you can miss the animation when you're actually watching the show.
There's also a lot of shots where nothing is happening in the background. Episode 8 is supposed to be a festival and it's pretty dead. It's possible I've seen the stuff executed better in other shows so the 'peaks' aren't really wowing me. I do admit the consistency is fairly high as I really haven't seen it drop.
There's more to good animation or "sakuga" then simply flashy fighting scenes, ala F/Z.
Iso died for our sins, the least you can do to try to atone is to watch it!
If a show needs a good festival to be high-budget all shows besides Hyouka are cheap. Anyways I just skimmed through episode 8 and I saw high-quality expressive animation wherever I jumped, so...
Good animation isn't always flashy.
I was looking at a ton of sakuga videos yesterday and the explosion one by Takashi Hashimoto is another level. As for the running one, I thought the one in SAO looked better.

Well if I remember hearing correctly, it almost bankrupted the studio and so I was expecting more I guess. I'm also not a fan of the CG used in the show.

Okay, done!
That was a great finale. The tension went on ramping up and up until shit hit the fan and things had to be tied in a knot.
Other than that, I thought the epilogue was out of place. We go from
Something as short as
or something would have sufficed; just jumping into and many years after is too big a disconnection for me to conceive. And speaking of the epilogue, at least Sanson waited until

Classic GAINAX was on a whole other level altogether. It started a bit slow, and the early focus on Jean and Nadia betrays the true soul of this show (aka the Nautilus doing cool shit all over the place). That aspect made it hard for me to care at the beginning, but once it got going I couldn't get my ayes away.
Nadia was a very straightforward story, at least when compared to the hardcore character introspection of Evangelion or the great infusion of science into the narrative of Gunbuster. Its simplicity works in its favour, thankfully, and it shows that Hideaki Anno can tell a good old adventure tale without having to get bogged down by whatever depressing thoughts he's being consumed at the moment. I would wholeheartedly recommend it! Five out of five Nautiluses (Nautili?)

So that's that. I think I'm gonna finish Slam Dunk (I only have like thirty episodes left) before I try to tackle the next great Anno work: Cutie Honey live action film!
One last bit of fanservice before we move on.
Nemo requiescat in pace.
These past two episodes had a lot of Electra/Medina fanservice, including an instance of GAINAX bouncing.
That was a great finale. The tension went on ramping up and up until shit hit the fan and things had to be tied in a knot.
I was expecting Jean to have more of a role, but I guess him not being able to shoot Nadia was the only possible thing you could do with his character. It is really funny that you start with his character as the main focus but becomes a of little importance to the resolution.
Other than that, I thought the epilogue was out of place. We go from
Nemo sacrificing himself for Nadia and Jean and Electra and his baby's sake, but we don't see the immediate ramifications of what the confrontation between the Red Noah and the New Nautilus did to the world.
the peoples on Earth celebrating Neo Atlantis' demise
Marie was of what I assume legal age in XIX century France
